My palms began perspiring, my hips began to move uncomfortably and I was faced with a headline earlier today that made me feel like this was the end. Anticipating the second coming of Christ, I gasped and began to imagine what this heaven to earth in real-time would be like.

The headline read: Pedophilia Officially Classified as a Sexual Orientation. An article written by Charismanews.com reported that the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders also called the DSM – 5 had changed its definition of pedophilia. Reports later confirmed that the DSM – 5 was changed and I’m going to attempt to explain it in layman’s terms below:

Pedophilia has been considered a mental disorder much like homosexuality until 1973 when the ONLY reason it was changed to a sexual orientation was based on FALSE reports from Alfred Kinsey. To date, a lifestyle of homosexuality is considered sexual sin and of a reprobate mind from a Christian perspective. And, even scientists have been unable to confirm that homosexuality is something that people are born with, in fact most people just say it as comfortably as they say the sky is blue regardless of a lack of evidence both spiritually and scientifically. What they HAVE found is that most homosexuals confirm these “feelings” in middle school which happen to be the most vulnerable time in a child’s life, but I digress.

This was my cover photo at the time that the messages were sent on Facebook.

Charismanews.com came back and said that there was an alleged mistake in the DSM update on pedophilia although they waited to receive comment directly from the APA. Originally, through the American Psychiatric Association, the University of Southern California report indicated that

“the American Psychiatric Association (APA) drew a very distinct line between pedophilia and pedophilic disorder. Pedophilia refers to a sexual orientation or profession of sexual preference devoid of consummation, whereas pedophilic disorder is defined as a compulsion and is used in reference to individuals who act on their sexuality.”

And according to the Washington Times, the same quote from the change is as follows:

According to the DSM-5, pedophilia “refers to a sexual orientation or profession of sexual preference devoid of consummation, whereas pedophilic disorder is defined as a compulsion and is used in reference to individuals who act on their sexuality,”

In the APA’s statement to the Washington Times they said:

“‘sexual orientation’ is not a term used in the diagnostic criteria for pedophilic disorder and its use in the DSM-5 text discussion is an error and should read ‘sexual interest.’”

So, for those of us anti-pedophile advocates who do not have a PhD let me explain what they are saying. They DID change the definition of Pedophilia. They DID change pedophilia to a “sexual orientation” although they are now saying that it was an error and should read “sexual interest”. I disagree. This is too big of a debate and the APA is fully aware that pro-pedophile groups namingly pedophiles have been pushing for this change. I have written a ton of articles on this subject over the past few years and have clearly stated that it will change if no one stands up and says something to protect their children.

Now, the APA is saying that they will go back in, and change it to “sexual interest” but the change in separating pedophile from pedophilic disorder is going to stay the same? Essentially they are saying that a pedophile is one who has what pedophiles call, “Intergenerational Love”. They want to be called minor-attracted persons. The APA even referred to it as a “sexual orientation”.

They are saying that pedophilic disorder is the one who acts upon their interest because of their orientation. It’s the same as someone who says, “I’m a same-sex attracted person but because of my Christian beliefs I won’t act on them.” This person still has desire for the same-sex and has not sought deliverance. This too is a hugely debated topic that is not welcome on this particular post because it will take away from child sexual abuse and the idea that pedophilia has indeed officially been changed by definition.

So, read the quotes from the APA again. All they have done is separated those who have what they are calling “interest” because of “orientation” from the ones who act on such interest. It is only a matter of time before they find that because of one’s “interest” and “orientation” they should not withhold the urge to rape a child. They will call it Intergenerational Love because after all they are just minor-attracted persons.

I submit to you that this is you last real warning. It important that you DO and SAY something! Please sign our petition to Make Child Sexual Abuse Grooming A Felony and you should flood the APA’s office with phone calls and emails to inform them that the ENTIRE WORDING should be changed back. In other words, it is not enough to change “orientation” to “interest” because they lead to the same acceptance of sexual abuse of children.

Pedophilia altogether is a mental disorder, period. Those who are Christian understand that it is demonic, and I think anyone who isn’t a pedophile would agree that you do not want them to have the same rights as homosexuals, putting your children at risk. We do not need any less prosecution of sexual predators than we have now.

Psychobabble nonsense with a large dose of politics. Face it, the prince of darkness is large and in charge. Forget 6000 years of human history, we are now officially “unenlightened.” Somebody just turned out the lights.

I Had A Dream And It Came True! (Wedding)

Ressurrection's Wedding on the National Mall - OPEN INVITATIONAugust 28th, 2013

The President is expected to attend the festivities at the Martin Luther King Jr. and/or Lincoln Memorials to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington and the I Have A Dream speech.
One couple in the Nation’s Capital will commemorate this speech with their wedding ceremony scheduled at the Jefferson Memorial at 2pm on August 28th, 2013.
During this monumental wedding ceremony the couple will share their vows and incorporate their Martin Luther King Jr. inspired theme, “I Had A Dream And It Came True.”
An earthquake shook the Washington DC Area on August 23rd, 2011, and a Tornado followed that week. But the sun came out on August 28th, 2011, the 48th anniversary of the, "I have a dream" speech.
After Graves returned from the opening day of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial her Groom made his move, they talked over a game of chess, in which she won the game and his heart.
Graves had witnessed a reenactment of Martin Luther King Jr. speaking on that day. She believed it to be a tape recording until she saw a gentlemen from California drawing a crowd. With such a rich beginning Graves and Groom intend to share their nuptials as a public testament of their strength, faith and love.
They welcome those who celebrate love to join them on the lawn of the Jefferson Memorial, at 2pm on August 28, 2013 the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech saying, “I Had A Dream And It Came True.”
